61: Chapter 38 Baby Fruit and Lele Ding 61: Chapter 38 Baby Fruit and Lele Ding Hearing his own daughter’s words full of malice, and then seeing the undisguised hostility in her eyes, Shen Mincheng felt a choking sensation in his heart, and his complexion turned pale.
He seemed to only now realize that at some point, his daughter had completely turned her heart away from him.
Seeing the hurt expression on his face, Shen Xiu turned her face away, feeling a twinge of guilt in her heart, thinking she might have gone too far.
“Wife, go bring Little Niangao out for him to see,” Shen Mincheng extinguished his cigarette and opened the window to ventilate.
Is that the child’s nickname?” Shen Mincheng’s spirits lifted as he smiled, a change from his previous dejection.
But no one was willing to engage him.
Upon hearing Luo Yufang’s purpose of visit, Lin Xiaoguai was somewhat astonished, yet she still handed over the child.
She didn’t think Shen Mincheng would do anything to the child.
With grandpa, grandma, and Xiuxiu there, she figured he wouldn’t dare to act rashly.
Shen Mincheng looked at his grandson who was sleeping soundly with excitement, repeatedly saying, “He looks so alike, just like Chi did when he was little!”
He reached out to hold him but was met with the wary gazes of everyone in the room, and suddenly felt somewhat embarrassed, “Have you decided on a formal name?”
As he said this, he turned towards his own father, thinking that if the name hadn’t been chosen yet…
The child’s mother chose it, it’s Shen Yinian.
Wanwan says it means ‘a year of good harvest.’ After all, he will be a college student in the future, different from illiterate roughnecks.
The name she chose has a good meaning and is easy to pronounce,” Luo Yufang knew exactly what he was up to, and stifled him without much severity.
Shen Mincheng had originally wanted to argue that a woman shouldn’t be the one to choose a name.
But after the veiled ridicule from his own mother, he found himself at a loss for words.
He had been thinking that “Shen Dabao” would have been a fine name.
Shen Mincheng actually wanted to stay and watch his grandson for a bit longer, at least until the grandchild awakened, but seeing that the whole family didn’t seem to welcome him, he could only reluctantly take his leave.
However, as he walked to the door, he turned back, took all the money out of his pocket, and stuffed it into Little Niangao’s swaddling clothes.
“This is a token of affection from me as grandpa.
Use it to buy something nice for the child, don’t let him be wronged.”
Having said that, he left with frequent backward glances.
The three generations left behind looked at each other.
Shen Xiu raised an eyebrow, “When did my father become so generous?”
Although the money was in small denominations, it looked to be over a hundred yuan.
Luo Yufang sighed, “I don’t quite understand either.”
She had thought that her son had completely severed father-son affection with Chi, but today’s words and actions seemed incongruent.
Feeling her son safely back in her arms, Lin Xiaoguai breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Even though she knew nothing would happen, she still couldn’t help but worry.
Seeing her son comfortably open his eyes and look over, Lin Xiaoguai sighed, realizing that there would be no nap at lunchtime.
Little Niangao spent most of his day sleeping, but around noon, he would have a particularly lively period, lasting about an hour and a half to two hours.
Little Niangao smacked his lips, making sucking motions, and Lin Xiaoguai smiled affectionately.
She didn’t feed him, but instead took out a milk-yellow colored fruit from her space, the size of a ping pong ball, with a pointed tip, and she could vaguely see the juice flowing through the fruit skin.
She took out scissors to snip a tiny hole the size of a rice grain at the tip, then put it to her son’s mouth.
Little Niangao sucked instinctively, then started sucking more eagerly, his little hands reaching out from the blanket to grab the fruit.
This type of fruit was called baby fruit and in Alien Civilization, it acted as a combined vaccination and immune booster.
For children under the age of six, baby fruit was one of the most common snacks they ate.
The baby fruit was scientifically cultivated.
Because the genetic chains of the plants were too erratic and unstable, the seeds were difficult to germinate.
She had previously bought nearly a thousand baby fruit seeds, spending nearly ten million Gold Coins, but had only managed to grow six plants.
Fortunately, the baby fruit trees could bear fruit for at least a hundred years, enough to provide for Little Niangao until he turned six.
——It should be noted that time in the space passed just like the outside world; if animals and plants bred quickly, it was because of the influence of the space energy.
Meaning, if a fruit tree could bear fruit for three years, even if it could ripen every day in the space, it would be able to produce fruit once a day for three years, with the same lifespan as it would have in the outside world.
After finishing a baby fruit, Little Niangao seemed to want more as he sucked on the now sticky fruit skin that had clumped together.
Lin Xiaoguai was not surprised; after all, as a scientific product aimed at children, the baby fruit naturally focused on taste and was sure to be favored by Little Niangao.
